This red-tailed hawk was found sitting on top of a door at the glass-fronted entrance to an apartment building in Brooklyn. His behavior and poor feather quality indicated something was very wrong. A kind rescuer brought him to us, and our exams revealed a host of issues for this poor bird: severe dehydration and signs of anemia, which probably indicates some rodenticide poisoning. He also has an old wound on one toe that was obviously causing him pain. We also found a lot of intestinal parasites. And finally, he somehow got coated in a greasy substance. Poor buddy! After a few days of supportive care, medications and wound care, this hawk, named Quan, is standing and more alert. We hope he’ll soon be stable enough for us to clean those beautiful feathers under anesthesia. 📷: Rachel Frank, Eugene Oda
